Where two waves interfere the displacment where two troughs meet is?
When two waves interfere, the displacement where two troughs meet is negative.
When two waves interfere the displacement where two troughs meet is positive negative zero or a crest?
Negative
If two waves overlap in the following manner what type of interference will result?
it doesnt matter whether the waves meet at the surface or underwater but when this happens, the waves superpose each other that is cancel out their crests and troughs resulting in a destructive wave with an amplitude or wavelength of zero which is diagramly a straight line (no wave). so if this happens underwater, nothing shows at the surface. send more of your questions in physics to enekaith@yahoo.com
The combining of waves as they meet is known as?
Interference. Constructive Interference, which is where the waves increase amplitudes and troughs when they overlap. Destructive Interference, which is where the waves cancel each other out when they overlap.
What happens to the amplitude of two waves as they meet?
Depends where. If a peak meets a peak, then the amplitude of that peak will increase. Same with troughs. However if the waves have the same amplitude, and a peak meets a trough, they will cancel out, and you will be left with a dead spot, not affected by the wave.

When 2 troughs meet they form to make?
A larger trough.
What will happen if waves meet gelatin?
it would melt.
What is the term for the interaction when two waves meet?
When two waves meet, their interaction is known as interference.
What happen when surface currents meet a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
What are the highest points on a standing wave called?
When the trough of a wave and the crest of a different wave meet, the waves cancel completely. This is called destructive interference.
Can two wavefront cross each other's?
Yes, you would just get constructive and destructive interference. Where the wave forms meet. They would just pass though each other You could see this by filling up your bath tub with some water and then poke your finger at opposite ends of the bath. When the two wave forms meet they will cross though each other, where the crescents meet it will be constructive interference and where the troughs meet it would be destructive interference
What happens when congruent angles are identical and will meet toegther?
Nothing
